Hiratsuka 1810

This woodblock print, titled "Hiratsuka," was created by Katsushika Hokusai in 1810. The work depicts three figures on a stone path, one wearing a large, conical hat, and the other two wearing straw hats. They are standing on a wooden bridge with a lush green tree in the background. This print is a typical example of Hokusai's ukiyo-e style, depicting everyday life in Edo period Japan, and highlights the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of color and form. This small work (4 5/16 × 4 1/8 in.) is part of a larger series called "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji," demonstrating Hokusai's mastery of landscape and figure depiction.
